Ever since graduating from the Boston Conservatory in 2015, Actors Equity performer Michael Notardonato has starred several times in two shows: “Grease” and “Saturday Night Fever.”

The upcoming production of “SNF” at Ivoryton Playhouse will be his third time starring in the quintessential dance story. He will be featured along with Nora Fox, as Annette, and Caroline Lellouche, as Stephanie, in the run that extends from Wednesday, Aug. 9, through Sunday, Sept. 3.

A refresher provided by the theater points out: “The year is 1979 and in Brooklyn, N.Y., Tony Manero, a young man with a dead-end job and an extraordinary ability to dance, has only one ambition in life — to become the disco king.

“When he meets Stephanie, who also dreams of a world beyond Brooklyn, they decide to train together for a dance competition and their lives begin to change forever.”

The musical, which opened on Broadway in October 1999, is based on the 1977 film that “became a cultural phenomenon,” explains the theater. The score boasts now-legendary hits from the Bee Gees, including such classics as “Stayin’ Alive,” “Night Fever,” “Jive Talking,” “You Should Be Dancing” and “How Deep is Your Love?” The film was based on Nik Cohn’s 1975 New York Magazine article “Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night.”

For this 24-year-old “Fever” “veteran,” the role of “Tony” never ever gets boring — for several reasons.

“From production to production, so much changes including the choreography — and changes to the script have occurred over time. So it’s definitely not the same role over and over again,” said the actor, who was raised in a suburb of Chicago.

“I think of myself as an actor/singer,” he said during a recent telephone chat. And dancing is something he has learned to master. And like Tony’s character, Notardonato, the son of two chemical engineers, is of Catholic-Italian heritage, which helps him relate to the character. “I’m first generation: my mother came from Romania, my dad from Italy; they met here (in the U.S) at college.

“Tony is a lot fun to play ... he’s very aggressive and high spirited, while I’m fairly soft-spoken and not nearly as aggressive and mean,” he said. “It’s great to work through (the musical) and resolve some of Tony’s problems so his character is more like mine by the end.”

“It may be fun, but (the role is) exhausting” — he sings, he dances, he acts and has 11 costume changes. “Every moment is consumed; there’s no time to breathe,” he added, laughing.
